“Practicing wellness a little bit everyday goes a long way”
Hi, I’m Sadie Wells.
I’m so glad you found me and thank you so much for taking time to visit my website. I hope you are able to find what you are looking for!
I am a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist and Certified Personal Trainer located in the southwest Chicago area offering both in-person and online nutrition and fitness training options! My passion is to help women get fit and healthy – no matter what the age.
Thank you for trusting me as your dietitian and fitness coach! I am excited to help you start (or continue) on your journey to health. Please take a minute to learn a little more about me below!
My Story . . .

I am stronger in many ways than I ever have been.
I am a lover of life and everything healthy.
But, I wasn’t always this way….
Let’s just say I was not born with the “long & lean” genes. I was not always confident. I struggled through my childhood and teenage years with body image, self-esteem, and confidence. It took me a while to learn to be comfortable in my own skin.
…fast-forward several years….
I married my college sweetheart after having our first child. I gained a ton of weight (55 lbs to be exact!) during the pregnancy but I ate relatively healthy and maintained a moderate level of physical activity and most of the weight eventually fell off…whew!
Then my husband was diagnosed with cancer. He is doing great now, but that was an extremely difficult time in our lives. Talk about stress! First came the stress and worry for his health and then the years of financial stress that followed.
…fast-forward another 10 years….
I was pregnant with our second child and despite my efforts to NOT gain so much, I gained a ton of weight (45 lbs this time!) again! I thought, ok, I KNOW what I need to do…or so I thought! It was much more difficult the second time around. I lost some weight, but not nearly enough and to further compound the issue, I was EXHAUSTED! All. The. Time.
I hit my breaking point, and decided enough is enough! I swore I’d never relive those teenage years. I wanted my body back and even more importantly, I wanted my energy back!! My family deserved more and I deserved better! So, I put myself on my own diet and in that process developed what is now the Body Revive Online Program. I kicked all the bad habits, lost the weight, had more energy than I’d had in years and I felt A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
So why am I telling you all this? Because I get it! Life is full. Full of many things from work to family to your own personal needs. And, even despite what you know, often our own personal needs and attention get last priority. But it really doesn’t have to be that way…
One of the most profound experiences we can go through in life is the journey of self-transformation. We all have the unique ability to reinvent ourselves an unlimited number of times. Mindset is everything! I believe EVERYONE has the ability to change at any time, at any age. You CAN revive your energy and make your body thrive again! My goal is to make sure every woman feels the joy I feel and know they DESERVE that joy too!

Professional Experience
As much as I loved the clinical setting, I soon realized there was an incredible need for preventative services particularly in the field of weight loss. In 2007 I took a leap of faith and decided to open my own private practice, The Wellness Practice, to better help people transform their lives through nutrition and lifestyle changes.
I developed my programs to teach you how to take care of YOU, get your energy back and leave the guilt behind! I want you to love the body you LIVE in!
The Wellness Practice . . .
is a concierge nutrition and fitness practice serving individuals, groups, and corporations. All of The Wellness Practice’s programs are designed with the client in mind—highly customized meal plans and fitness programs, evidence-based knowledge and convenient tools necessary for easy implementation, and ongoing support for accountability and long-term success—while considering their social, financial, and medical needs.
